As of 10:12 AM, overall subscription stood at 5%, with interest largely driven by retail and non-institutional investors. The IPO will remain open until August 1. In the grey market, shares are quoting at a premium, indicating a potential listing gain of around 29% over the upper price band of Rs 150 per share.Retail investors subscribed to 7% of the 1.97 crore shares allocated to them, while NIIs—such as high-net-worth individuals—subscribed to 9% of the 84.64 lakh shares reserved for their category. Meanwhile, Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) have not placed any bids yet for their allotted 1.12 crore shares. However, it's worth noting that QIB interest often gathers momentum closer to the final days of the IPO, so a lack of early bids from this segment is fairly typical.According to market observers, the IPO is commanding a grey market premium (GMP) of Rs 44 per share.
